산촌정책을 통해 본 지방정부의 구조적 제약에 관한 연구

Abstract

Recently, Korean local governments have decided on major policies of local governments amid structural constraints such as market economic constraints where labor and capital move autonomously, the local financial crisis, and the disappearance of local populations. In particular, in the case of local underprivileged areas such as mountain villages, it can be seen as the last area to be excluded from the local government's developmental policies. This study aims to analyze Peterson's assumption of City Limits and his conclusions limited to the current public choice and mountain village policies of local governments and use them as a poetic analysis framework to look at the central government's support role and direction. As a result of the analysis, in the case of Goesan-gun and Jecheon-si, Chungcheongbuk-do, the proportion of the redistribution policy and allocation policy budget was gradually lowered by focusing on the mountain village(forest) development policy. In Miryang-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, the allocation policy ratio was higher than that of development and redistribution policies, but after the transfer of local finances, the budget ratio of development policies changed to almost the same level. Overall, the direction of public choice can vary depending on the local environment, local residents' preferences, economic conditions, and policymakers' values, but at least through the central government's budget trend, it is necessary to understand what local governments are investing in development policies and what local governments are investing in redistribution and allocation policies.
